DARTMOUTH – Leadership SouthCoast, a nonprofit entity within the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts that focuses on leadership development for positive change, is accepting applications for its class that begins this October.

The nine-month program involves one full-day retreat, six full-day sessions on regional issues including education and economic development, and two full-day leadership workshops as well as work on a team project.

Tuition is $2,250. Leadership SouthCoast extends need-based tuition assistance to employees of nonprofit organizations and for-profit companies with less than 50 employees.
